About this listen

Sri Lanka, 2009. Decades of civil war and bloodshed are being brought to an end at last – by any means necessary. In the capital, Colombo, tenacious journalist Ameena Fernando is murdered, execution-style, on a busy street near her home, with no witnesses.

With pressure growing to find Ameena’s killers, CIA agent Ellie Harper is sent to seek justice for the journalist’s death with strict instructions: Find something, but not too much. It’s her first time returning to the island after her last mission went tragically awry four years prior, and Ellie has more than one ghost to lay to rest. Amidst the international scheming and jostling for stakes in post-war Sri Lanka, Ellie follows the trail of secrets on a mission to uncover a truth worth killing for.

Shankari Chandran is an Australian Tamil lawyer and author of best-selling Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens and Song of the Sun God. Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens won the prestigious Miles Franklin Literary Award 2023.

'An explosive thriller that pulses with the weight of history. Forget James Bond, Ellie Harper is the real deal.' Dinuka McKenzie

'Tense, gritty and deeply urgent, Unfinished Business is an action-packed thriller with international intrigue and real-world heft.' Ashley Kalagian Blunt, bestselling author of Dark Mode

'Passionate and courageous – a thrilling tale of espionage and intrigue and a high-stakes rollercoaster by one of Australia's most exciting writers' Caroline Overington

Good story, annoying background noises.

For the most part a compelling story. Not stellar but solid. As mentioned in other reviews, the background sounds were annoying.

Dumbest spy ever!

My title says it all.
Interesting topic, local sites, lots of tragedy, fallen characters, smart reporter, and very dumb spy.

intense

Parts of this story were very intense and there are some horrific war stories included. The end unfortunately, was settled on a simplistic manner. Overall, it was enjoyable.

Good Listen, Intriguing Spy Story

Interesting information on the politics of Sri Linka and the U.S. involvement. Excellent narration. Didn't care for background noise...distracting.

Disappointed

I was not familiar with this author but was interested in the subject so took a chance based on the reviews. I gave up after 2 hours mostly because the background noise was too distracting and annoying. I rarely write reviews but don’t recommend this book.
